The gorgeous wife of Filipino-British hottie Lloydi Birchmore even shared online her secrets to getting back in shape after having a baby.

Bangs said that you only need perseverance if you want to achieve your fitness goals.

She posted, “I strongly disagree that a woman can't get back into shape at this age! It may not be exactly as it used to be, but it is possible. Perhaps, with perseverance you could even be in a better shape than before.”

The celebrity mom added that her healthy lifestyle also helped her to prepare for giving birth, since she was in perfect condition.

“My doctor in the Philippines once told me that I unawarely prepared my body for pregnancy long before I got pregnant, I was always in perfect condition every time I had my examinations with her.”

What's more surprising is that Bangs was able to get back in shape even though she had undergone an emergency C-section.

According to www.medicalnewstoday.com, Cesarean section or C-section is a procedure in which an infant is delivered through an incision made in a woman's abdomen and uterus.

Bangs suggested these steps: “Start working out at least a few mos. before pregnancy, keep a healthy diet, wear a high-waisted panty about 2-3mos postpartum depending on your healing process.(Consult your doctor first)”

“Having been through an emergency c-section hinders me from doing any strenuous activity at the gym 'til 8-9 mos. postpartum, I need full recovery for my incision. I've done brisk walking on the treadmills & unemphatic squats a few times since 4 mos. postpartum, but no sit-ups yet. I'm so glad I trained hard a few years ago, hence, it improved my wellness & I became truly disciplined in general. I made sure I ate really well.”

#PreventWeightGain #GettingBackinShape after #CSection: Start working out at least a few mos. before pregnancy, keep a healthy diet, wear a high-waisted panty about 2-3mos postpartum depending on your healing process.(Consult your doctor first) When I was young, I used to hear that when a woman bears a child at 30 years & older, she cannot get back her pre-pregnancy body anymore. That's why my ideal age to get married was about 25 or 26, so I'd have enough time to bear children before I turn 30. But instead, I got married at 29, got pregnant at 30, now, I am 31 with an 8-month old baby; I strongly disagree that a woman can't get back into shape at this age! It may not be exactly as it used to be, but it is possible. Perhaps, with perseverance you could even be in a better shape than before. My doctor in the Philippines once told me that I unawarely prepared my body for pregnancy long before I got pregnant, I was always in perfect condition every time I had my examinations with her. I used to workout really hard from 2014-2015, perhaps, too hard that I used to cry in the shower after my trainings thinking, “What have I gotten myself into?!”, Lol! I never wanted to show my trainer any signs of weakness, I was determined to complete my sessions to improve my endurance, discipline; and basically, every aspect of my health inside out. Having been through an emergency c-section hinders me from doing any strenuous activity at the gym 'til 8-9 mos. postpartum, I need full recovery for my incision. I've done brisk walking on the treadmills & unemphatic squats a few times since 4 mos. postpartum, but no sit-ups yet. I'm so glad I trained hard a few years ago, hence, it improved my wellness & I became truly disciplined in general. I made sure I ate really well. My #PregnancyDiet : No Rice•No Pork•Quinoa•Salmon&Mackerel•Chicken Breast•Beef•Veggies everyday(I love Broccoli)•Fruits(Strawberries helped me w/my acidity)•Pasta•Wheat Bread•Eggs(contain choline w/c is good for baby's brain devt.)•No Sweets 'til 7mos•Soy Milk My #PostpartumDiet: I eat anything but I eat rice only 2-3x/month•I rarely eat pork•I eat fruits 1st thing in the morning•Veggies everyday 👍
